The Attack

Latif showed Google Maps to potential attackers

The Pathankot Attack was reportedly planned by JeM operative Shahid Latif at a meeting in Pakistan's Sialkot in April 2014.

Latif, who trained the potential attackers with the help of 'Google Maps', believed it was "easy" to launch the strike on Pathankot Airbase as it was surrounded by forests.

The attack claimed eight lives, including that of seven security personnel and injured over 38.

The NIA reportedly had forensic and technical evidence pointing to the involvement of Pakistan-based JeM in the deadly terror strike. The US had also provided crucial evidence, in the form of JeM members' chats and email conversations to the NIA.

Evidence pointing to JeM's involvement in other attacks

The Pathankot attackers' main handler, Kashif Jan, claimed he planned attacks at Kathua and Samba on 20-21 Mar'15 in his Facebook messages.

He was in touch with the Pathankot attackers over the phone during the strike.

Three died in the first series of Kathua attacks; NIA claimed it recovered digital and documentary evidence pointing to JeM's involvement in the Samba and Rajbagh attacks too.

The charge-sheet

"The slips (found at Pathankot), along with other corroborative evidence, established they (attackers) were JeM members based in Pakistan and that the attack was one of the series carried out by them after Tangdhar, Samba, Kathua, Rajbagh in revenge for the death of Afzal Guru."

The NIA has named JeM Chief Maulana Masood Azhar and his accomplices as proclaimed offenders under its chargesheet. The NIA also stated that a red corner notice was issued against Azhar and his associates.

They have also forwarded a dossier to the CBI who will follow up with Interpol.
